"It is a big distraction, because my phone's been ringing off the hook since she announced it," Ted Shpak, legislative director for Rolling Thunder, the group that hosts the annual rally in support of American POWs and veterans, told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell in an interview Friday. Shpak implied that Palin's presence would detract from the event's focus.
"We're not political, this is not a political event," Shpak said. "The way it came out, it sounded like we endorsed her."
Though Palin will reportedly make Sunday's rally the first stop in her bus tour, Shpak was clear that her bus will not ride in the group of motorcycles that will travel from a near the Pentagon, along the National Mall, and back.

I do not see her as a deity but I do think that God has chosen her for his agent. Alrighty then.

True. I spoke at Rolling Thunder in 2007 even though I am not a member.

I was just going to post that. Sad we have to get the truth from a leftist blog. They are very afraid of her.

The idea that she can do no wrong and that anyone who disagrees with her is an enemy.. is disturbing.
What has she done wrong here?

"MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell"....or Any Other member of the LSM making Any comment or doing Any story about Sarah Palin should be enough to alert all Freepers that all may not be exactly as presented in the original story. These people have ONE OBJECTIVE...to get Obama Reelected. During the next year and a half they will be working overtime to obfuscate, distort, and slander any Republican.
Worth repeating over and over again.

What has she done wrong here? I don't recall stating that she had done anything wrong.
My comment was about the IDEA that she could do no wrong.
Please pay attention, it will take you far in life.

Humblergunner, you’re usually saner than this.
She’s the mother of an army reservist. She doesn’t need your permission to join Rolling Thunder.

Bump so I can find this if I need it. I have a FB “friend” who is spewing Shpak’s comment and saying anyone who supports Palin being there should not be able to live in this country. He is a hard core Dem and an jack@ss.

Please explain how you get anything about "permission" out of post #14.
The post was made in defense of Rolling Thunder and made no reference to "permission".

Did you read the post or are you just continuing to troll in blogpimp mode?
My comment was about the IDEA that she could do no wrong.
The blogpimp king of the strawman has spoken. Put up the BS and then knock it down splattering everyone. Bull.

Rolling Thunder had a communications misfire on this. Ted obviously wasn’t briefed on the invite by the Alaska group for Sarah to participate in Rolling Thunder.

None of the crap you just spewed makes any sense.
Please break it down into simple terms for those of us in Rio Linda.
Or are you drunk again?
To: humblegunner
That maybe the addition of the security required for such a person might be a distraction to their goals?Are you serious? The guys on those bikes won't let anybody get near her for harm. She will be protected better than Zero with his SS minions, and all the Black Panthers he can recruit.
You're just a sick, sad excuse for anything... and everybody knows it, but you! Blog your pimp, or pimp your blog, you're still batting (for) ZERO!
Sarah, OTOH, is at leading the pack!

Sometimes you just can't break down a concept for the most weak minded to understand. I am sorry about your disability.

If for no other reason, you have value in that you provide comedy.
